Your struggling readers deserve this One prompt turns any AI into a patient reading coach for struggling students

28 students. At least 5 reading below grade level. You know they need personalized content, but you create 2-3 versions max.
I built an AI prompt that handles the rest. Copy, paste, answer 3 questions. Done

Students who invent math rules learn 10x deeper Transform passive problem-solvers into active pattern creators

What if students used AI to CREATE math problems instead of solving them?
I tested this with a 3rd grader. The AI only asked questions. The student built a 5ร—5 puzzle and understood it deeper because they built it.

The AI That Refuses to Give Students the Answers And why that's the best thing that could happen to them

Most AI tools hand students the answers. This one doesnโ€™t.
It questions, listens, and pushes them to think.
See how a 4th grader analyzing Fish in a Tree turned confusion into insight.

Why this AI asks questions instead of giving answers The discovery method that turns any student into a confident storyteller

What if AI asked questions instead of giving answers?
The SPARK method helps students discover their storytelling abilities through guided questioning.
Fourth-grader Jonathan went from "I loved Fish in a Tree" to writing his own story.

AI didnโ€™t Break Critical Thinkingโ€”it Might Finally Build it Before AI, most students rarely practiced true critical thinkingโ€”used wisely in project-based learning, AI can finally help make it the norm

Teachers fear AI will erase critical thinking. But most students rarely built those skills before AI. Used as a thinking companion in project-based learning, AI can finally make critical thinking the norm. Full piece miriambogler.substack.com/p/ai-didnt-b...

How one prompt makes students plan like pros Watch students actually own their learning process (and love it)

Students used to ask "What do I do next?" every 5 minutes. Now one AI prompt gets them creating detailed work plans on their own. They think they're discovering the solutions themselvesโ€”which means they actually follow through. Full breakdown: miriambogler.substack.com/p/how-one-pr...

From Driving Question to Project Plan in One Session How AI transforms the messy middle of project planning into a structured pathway from question to research

The biggest PBL failure point: students create great driving questions, then get stuck on "now what?"
AI companions bridge this gap by guiding systematic brainstorming that transforms abstract curiosity into concrete project goals and research plans.
